This paper demonstrates a case for an end-to-end pure Application Security Layer for reliable and confidential communications within an Internet of Things (IoT) constrained environment. To provide a secure key exchange and to setup a secure data connection, Transport Layer Security (TLS) is used, which provides native protection against replay attacks. TLS along with digital signature can be used to achieve non-repudiation within app-to-app communications. This paper studies the use of TLS over the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) via a The Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) RESTful service to verify the hypothesis that in this way one can provide end-to-end communication flexibility and potentially retain identity information for repudiation. As a proof of concept, a prototype has been developed to simulate an IoT software client with the capability of hosting a CoAP RESTful service. The prototype studies data requests via a network client establishing a TLS over JSON session using a hosted CoAP RESTful service. To prove reputability and integrity of TLS JSON messages, JSON messages was intercepted and verified against simulated MITM attacks. The experimental results confirm that TLS over JSON works as hypothesised.

In this paper, to prevent accidents of school vehicles used by students, which have emerged as a continuous social problem, a boarding and leaving notification system using Bluetooth beacons is proposed. The platform structure uses Bluetooth, a smartphone, and an application, and provides real-time message reception between parents and teachers. It is not simply a system with Bluetooth capability alone, but also an IcT technology that is closely related to real life using two-way communication. The purpose is to provide user-friendly ICT technology as an integrated system for more practical effects. Two-way exchange of information between parents and teachers using cloud servers is made possible. By using this Bluetooth beacon notification system, safety accidents in student vehicles are reduced, which brings confidence from traffic accidents to schoolchildren of parents and teachers. Therefore, it is expected that parents and teachers are expected to improve their mental stability and quality of life from traffic accidents.

블루투스는 대칭키를 사용하여 암호화 채널을 형성하며 대칭키는 최초 연결 이전에 수행하는 페어링 단계에서 교환된다. 페어링 단계에서 기기인증을 위한 인증 모드는 크게 Just work, Passkey Entry, Out of Band, 그리고 Numeric Comparison 방식으로 구분된다. 지금까지 블루투스 페어링 방식의 중간자 공격(MITM)은 Just work 모드를 대상으로 하거나 인증 모드를 강제로 Just work 모드로 변환한 상태에서 MITM 공격을 수행하였고, 이때에는 인증모드가 변환되었다는 것을 인지하지 못하는 사용자의 부주의가 가정되어야 했다. 본 논문에서는 Secure Simple Pairing, Le Legacy Pairing, 그리고 LE Secure Connection Pairing 방식의 규격을 분석하였고, 각 방식에서 Passkey Entry 모드를 사용하였을 때, MITM 공격이 발생 가능함을 보인다. 또한 제안하는 Passkey Entry MITM 공격 방법은 기존 공격방법과 달리 인증 모드의 사용자 확인 절차를 바꾸지 않기 때문에 사용자의 부주의에 대한 가정 사항을 요구하지 않는다. 우리는 제안하는 Passkey Entry MITM 공격을 구현하고 이것이 악용될 수 있는 시나리오와 이를 방어할 수 있는 대응방법을 제시한다.
